Actors are a software tools running on the Apify platform, for all kinds of web data extraction and automation use cases. In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours, and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store. In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server. Actors are written with capital "A". ## How to integrate an Actor? If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects. You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready. The best way to integrate Actors is as follows. In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js.md): ```bash npm install apify-client ``` In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python.md): ```bash pip install apify-client ``` In shell scripts, use [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): ````bash # MacOS / Linux curl -fsSL https://apify.com/install-cli.sh | bash # Windows irm https://apify.com/install-cli.ps1 | iex ```bash In AI frameworks, you might use the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/mcp.md). If your project is in a different language, use the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md). For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below. For more details, see Apify documentation as [Markdown index](https://docs.apify.com/llms.txt) and [Markdown full-text](https://docs.apify.com/llms-full.txt). # README ## Mojeek Image Scraper Extract image search results from [Mojeek](https://www.mojeek.com) — a privacy-first, independent search engine powered by its own crawler. Mojeek images are sourced via [Openverse](https://openverse.org) (Creative Commons-licensed media from Flickr, Wikipedia, museums, and more). ### Features - **Image results** — thumbnail URL, full-size image URL, source page, title, creator, license - **Infinite scroll** — automatically scrolls to load more images up to `maxItems` - **Pagination** — follows explicit next-page links for large result sets - **License details** — extracts CC license type, license URL, and attribution info - **Creator attribution** — captures photographer/creator name and profile URL - **Provider info** — tracks which image provider (e.g. Openverse) supplied the image - **Deduplication** — cross-page deduplication prevents duplicate images - **Proxy support** — works with Apify residential/datacenter proxies ### Input Parameters | Field | Type | Default | Description | |-------|------|---------|-------------| | `query` | string | *(required)* | Image search query | | `maxItems` | integer | `100` | Maximum number of images to extract | | `license` | string | `""` | License filter: `""` = all, `"cc"` = Creative Commons, `"commercial"` = commercial use | | `proxyConfiguration` | object | — | Apify proxy config (recommended: residential) | #### Example INPUT.json ```json { "query": "nature photography", "maxItems": 100, "license": "cc", "proxyConfiguration": { "useApifyProxy": true } } ```` ### Output Fields | Field | Type | Description | |-------|------|-------------| | `position` | integer | Rank in results (1-based) | | `title` | string | Image title (when available) | | `imageUrl` | string | Thumbnail image URL (via Mojeek proxy) | | `largeImageUrl` | string | Full-size image URL (via Mojeek proxy) | | `sourcePage` | string | Source page hosting the original image | | `sourceDomain` | string | Domain of the source page | | `license` | string | License type (e.g. `BY-SA`, `BY-NC-ND`) | | `licenseUrl` | string | URL to the Creative Commons license | | `reportUrl` | string | URL to report the image on Openverse | | `creator` | string | Image creator/photographer name | | `creatorProfileUrl` | string | Link to creator's profile | | `provider` | string | Image provider (e.g. `openverse`) | | `searchQuery` | string | Query that produced this result | | `scrapedAt` | string | ISO 8601 scrape timestamp | #### Example Output ```json { "position": 1, "title": "Cats at sunset", "imageUrl": "https://www.mojeek.com/image?img=https://api.openverse.org/v1/images/abc123", "largeImageUrl": "https://www.mojeek.com/image?img=https://api.openverse.org/v1/images/abc123-large", "sourcePage": "https://www.flickr.com/photos/user123/photo456", "sourceDomain": "flickr.com", "license": "BY-SA", "licenseUrl": "https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/2.0/", "reportUrl": "https://openverse.org/image/abc123", "creator": "Jane Doe", "creatorProfileUrl": "https://www.flickr.com/photos/user123", "provider": "openverse", "searchQuery": "cats photography", "scrapedAt": "2025-05-01T12:00:00.000Z" } ``` ### How Pagination Works Mojeek Images uses **infinite scroll** to load more results: - Initial page loads ~24 images - Each scroll loads ~24 more - The scraper scrolls automatically until `maxItems` is reached - Also follows explicit pagination links (`s=25`, `s=49`, etc.) for larger requests ### Dataset Views The dataset provides two views: 1. **Image Results Overview** — key fields including thumbnail, source, license, creator 2. **Images By License** — focused view with full attribution: license URL, creator profile, provider ### Image Sources Mojeek's image search is powered by [Openverse](https://openverse.org), which aggregates openly licensed media from: - **Flickr** — user-contributed photography - **Wikimedia Commons** — free media files - **Museums & cultural institutions** — digitized collections - **Open media databases** — openly licensed stock images ### Notes - All images are Creative Commons licensed or openly licensed - `license` values follow CC naming: `BY`, `BY-SA`, `BY-NC`, `BY-NC-ND`, `BY-NC-SA`, `BY-ND` - Use a residential proxy for better reliability at scale - Images are proxied via Mojeek's `/image?img=` endpoint for display # Actor input Schema ## `query` (type: `string`): The image search query. ## `maxItems` (type: `integer`): Maximum number of images to scrape. ## `license` (type: `string`): Filter images by license type. Leave empty for all images. ## `proxyConfiguration` (type: `object`): Proxy settings for the scraper. Residential proxies recommended. ## Actor input object example ```json { "query": "nature photography", "maxItems": 100, "license": "", "proxyConfiguration": { "useApifyProxy": true } } ``` # API You can run this Actor programmatically using our API. Below are code examples in JavaScript, Python, and CLI, as well as the OpenAPI specification and MCP server setup. ## JavaScript example ```javascript import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client'; // Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token // Replace the '' with your token const client = new ApifyClient({ token: '', }); // Prepare Actor input const input = { "query": "nature photography", "maxItems": 100, "proxyConfiguration": { "useApifyProxy": true } }; // Run the Actor and wait for it to finish const run = await client.actor("codingfrontend/mojeek-image-scraper").call(input); // Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if any) console.log('Results from dataset'); console.log(`💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/${run.defaultDatasetId}`); const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems(); items.forEach((item) => { console.dir(item); }); // 📚 Want to learn more 📖?
